I worked at a network that made it onto the list of shame.

Once.

It was projected onto the screen at NANOG 8
during a presentation.  I don't even remember
the rest of the presentation, because all of us
present from that network immediately ssh'd
in, figured out the missing route-map on a
session, applied it, and looked around
very red-facedly at everyone else in the room.

anonymous shaming on a mailing list is one
thing.

public shaming in a room full of your peers...that
hits home immediately and viscerally, if you have
any pride as an engineer.  ^_^;;

Don't stop what you're doing, Geoff--it does make
a difference.

I do. While most of the content of the actual mail has very little 
relevance to me, it does provide useful leverage and motivation to fix 
some of the networks where I do have influence.



 From what I learned at the latest NANOG it's very clear that nobody reads this 
any more.


I often don't have the time to read every report in detail and much of 
it applies to networks outside of my circles. Every few weeks it does 
however prompt me to go and review my own network (and sometimes wave a 
stick at few ops people)



Is there any good reason to persist in spamming the nanog list with this report?


I definitely think its still useful for the community. Perhaps the 
frequency could be dialed back a little? I'm sure that there are many 
people who don't really notice it any more due to their mental white 
noise filters.


Perhaps some slightly different presentations of the data would also 
make it more useful. I am quite interested in the number of prefixes of 
various lengths that are seen in the table and that doesn't get included 
in the mailed report.


Perhaps a biggest climbers  fallers list would also have more 
relevance for the regular report. The Top 30 list doesn't seem to 
change very often... ;-)

Yes, and if only to tell people that we could do a lot better if we'd care more
about the Net than .. (?)economics(?) ..?

I keep wondering if people generate more elaborated filters based on the overall
data to get down table sizes rather than saying =/24 only or similar?

To me it reads as we'd still be below 256k then rather than close to 400k? Or 
more
realistically 300k-ish?  Anyone done any research how that would affect various
numbers in forwarding paths? *hide*

Read? Or act?

A good reason would be to add the same damned thing for IPv6 as well to avoid
us starting with the same *beep* there already.  There was a great number of
noise in the table when I last looked myself (given it's been a longer while).

Now we want to encourage people to deploy IPv6 and not make it harder for them
but a lot of obstacles in policies from the very early days are gone these days
and could be cleaned up before it's too late and in addition if people roll it
out now, why not do it once and do it right from the beginning, but where's the
education on `eek not the same *beep* as with legacy IP again`, as some people
are trapped in BBCP (bad best current practices)?

Well I know you have it online, but polling a website is harder than getting
it delivered to the inbox every week;)

not clear, sad to say.

i really think that the only way to reduce fragging is filtering.  maybe
a bgp blackhole feed for frags for which there are covering prefixes?

Some read it.  I think everyone on NANOG is frustrated (or not paying 
attention).

I would suggest that you keep sending it, but I have no way to motivate you to 
do so other than to confirm I do read it.

It is useful even just as data to show others, whether they act on that data or 
not.

If history is any guide, this will not work.  Someone will listen, and those 
who do not will lose customer (i.e. money).

The Internet is a business, and therefore money talks.  To date, no one has 
been able to prove to the bean counters that more prefixes means less profit.

For instance, I spoke to someone at the conference whose company is spewing 
1000s of prefixes they do not have to.  That person said well, FIB compression 
makes everything OK, so it doesn't matter, right? (paraphrased).  This is a 
company who tells others you have to pay me to use my resources, yet feels 
absolutely no qualms about using other networks' resources for free.

Hypocrisy is live  well on the Internet.  (I know you are all shocked.)

I do; I check the weekly increase every week, and check who the top

for CIDR), I may send them a note and ask what happened.

I think it still provides an incentive for people not to mess things up
